I have been awake in Asheville at 4 a.m. this morning and felt nothing. So, must be it was just south of here only. A couple years ago, we had a quake, many people felt it, and it was on the news. I was asleep and it woke me up, and it lasted about a minute, kind of quick shaking, grinding thing. There are at least two earthquake "faults," we have two mountain ranges, the Blue Ridge Mts and Great Smoky Mountains, so could be just one "went off." Also, could be an explosion racket. Check the morning news.

I happened to be in Asheville during the one in 2005, which was somewhere around 3.5 if I remember correctly. That was my first earthquake and I was rather scared considering that an earthquake was not the first thing to come to my mind. I'd hate to go through a "big" one.

Gee an earthquake I feel right at home after living so many years in CA.What I also heard was that there was ice on the roads near where we are going to live and people were told stay put a while. That I have never driven in many earthquakes but no ice.
